Ya'll might find this interesting.  In my line of work, I deal with experts in oceanography and wind.  Here is a model developed by one of them that forecasts the oil spill/slick in the Gulf.  You can click around, and play the animations on the page.

I hope those models are better than the global warming and ash cloud models.







ETA: The movement is chaotic, impossible to predict.

Any of those models have particular credence over the others?

Its cool but it seems a bit optomistic considering its movement thus far.  Do those models account for its increasing size?

Can he do a model for when it erodes the base of the BOP and becomes a full blown gusher for the next 3 months?
